Odds are this guy won’t screw it up any worse than is typical. Could he do any worse than the lopsided travesty of last year’s bracket? Good teams from strong conferences will be under seeded or not invited and empty records from weak conferences will be rewarded with weeks off and home games.
I think we should give JSU a break. Based on the the immense adversity they face, we clearly underrate them. These poor fellas have to deal with hot, humid weather. Their staple diet is fast food, which is killing the waistline of their linemen. At best, they are the sixth most important college football program in their own state. They have play second fiddle to their own band. And last lastly, their mascot is the Gamecocks. That's a lot to overcome before even playing an opponent come playoff time. Perhaps, we should respect their lofty seed each year, even if they are most likely done come the Quarterfinals.
Could this have the opposite effect?
Giving them a disadvantage with him trying to look ‘fair’
The fans of schools like JSU and UNH that have gotten some pretty favorable placement from the selection committee while their AD has been on it have always used the retort "He has to leave whenever the committee is discussing his team or another team within his team's conference" but I'm convinced that it's just human nature that some of these guys develop friendships with each other and there's a little bit of "you scratch my back I'll scratch yours" going on even if it's unspoken.
In general I think the selection committee does a better job that they get credit for and their job is a lot harder than most people think but they could also do themselves some favors by being a little more consistent with their selection criteria. SOS matters... most of the time. Quality wins matter... sometimes. Quality losses matter... sometimes.
